My research project is about assessing and defining what is meant by a 'software testing capability' within organisations.

It was inspired by my own employers reframing our capability models and honestly, it's really reignited my enthusiasm for testing again.

We were treated to a stellar lineup of speakers:
Jarsto van Santen, a true legend from the Dutch TestBash era, reminded us why he’s still a crowd favorite.
Martin Gijsen, Automation in Testing Strategist at PuPPET, brought sharp insights and fresh perspectives.
And of course, the ever-vibrant Elizabeth Zagroba, who lit up the room with her energy and wisdom. If you haven’t seen her speak yet — make sure you do at the upcoming TestBash!

It was an evening of reconnection, inspiration, and a shared sense of “we’re building something again.” The MoT-NL chapter is alive, and this is just the beginning.
Here’s to more meetups, more stories, and more testing magic. 🚀

Quality is everything — MoT drives it, STEC proves it 🚀

The image is a two-panel meme.

The first panel shows a smiling, bald person labeled "QUALITY PROS" eagerly reaching for a large yellow orb labeled "VIBIUM".

The second panel shows a large pink blob labeled "AI" grabbing the person labeled "QUALITY PROS" from behind, pulling them away from the yellow orb labeled "VIBIUM" which they are still reaching for. The person's expression is now one of wide-eyed surprise.

I'm STEC qualified, are you!?
